A political consultant who dodged federal prison on tax evasion charges allegedly assaulted Newark Mayor Ras Baraka's family member inside his home -- where, a document suggests, she lived during at least part of her home confinement sentence.

Linda Jumah was charged with simple assault in July after allegedly twisting the arm of a minor to shove her away from food, according to a municipal court summons.

Court documents show Jumah's address is the same as a home owned by Baraka on Scheerer Avenue, according to property records. Baraka also lists that home on his voter registration. Jumah -- who is currently serving a three-year probation sentence -- is identified as the "live-in girlfriend" of the victim's relative (Baraka) in the assault complaint.

When reached on Thursday, Jumah's attorney Robert Stahl said he didn't know "the details of her living arrangements" and could not confirm where Jumah was serving her sentence.

NJ Advance Media was unable to verify whether Jumah has served her home confinement at Baraka's home or elsewhere, but the terms of her probation only allow her to leave her house for approved purposes, such as church or work.

"My understanding is everything is going fine with the probation and she's compliant with the court's orders," Stahl said. He added that her probation officer "is well aware of what's going on."

"That is a domestic matter that I believe has been resolved. I don't think it could have any effect" on her probation, said Stahl, who is representing Jumah in her tax fraud case, but not in the assault.

Officials at the U.S. Probation Office in Newark declined to comment. Committing another crime would violate the terms of Jumah's probation. Her lawyer said he didn't think she would be found guilty in connection with the incident.

Baraka has previously acknowledged Jumah is a close friend but city officials declined to comment further.

"This is a private family matter," city spokeswoman Crystal Rosa said in an email Thursday. "Please respect their privacy at this time."

She declined to comment on whether Jumah was serving her sentence in the mayor's home.

Public records searches revealed two other addresses for Jumah, one on Market Street and another on Lyons Avenue, both in Newark. She has not listed the Scheerer Avenue address on any other public document. Jumah could not be reached Thursday.

During the alleged July incident, Jumah reportedly did not allow the family member to eat.

"The victim states that Linda Jumah grabbed her by her right arm and twisted it; shoving her away from the food several times," the affidavit said.

"The victim's mother further states that there have been prior occasions when the suspect has been verbally abusive towards her daughter."

The victim was not named, nor was the victim's mother, who filed the complaint at the police precinct a few days after the incident. The minor was visiting the home on July 4 for the holiday, the summons said.

The case was transferred from Newark Municipal Court to Essex County Superior Court on Aug. 31.

Jumah's business partner, Kiburi Tucker, is in federal prison serving three years on tax evasion and fraud charges. Jumah works as an aide to Assemblywoman Cleopatra Tucker (D-28th Dist.), Kiburi Tucker's mother.

Jumah ran into trouble with her probation officer earlier this year. She was allegedly attending social events -- like banquets where alcohol was served -- for her job as a legislative aide without always getting approval, court records show.
